DJ's Week In Review!
In other words, I took a week off from blogging, so here's some random bullshit...
-Check out the trailer for "The Wrestler," Mickey Rourke's new film about a broken down grappler trying to hang on to his glory days. It's getting great buzz, but the kicker for me was the trailer. As a guy that used to do some work in wrestling, let me tell you that the filmmakers really nailed it. I was having flashbacks watching some of those scenes. Every locker room scene looked like every high school/National Guard Armory building in every small town I visited back in the day. And I know at least 10 guys just like Rourke's character.
-The TV show "Pushing Daises" has not been renewed. Where am I going to get my Kristen Chenoweth fix? (especially since I don't go to Broadway musicals.)
-The TV show "The Shield" has its series finale this Tuesday. I'm expecting it to be brutal. This past weeks episode had one of the most tense and harsh scenes in its history, and with the level of violence in this show, that's saying something. And the scene I'm talking about didn't even have any violence. It was just the character Vic confessing all his past crimes to a federal agent after he got an immunity deal. Michael Chiklis deserves an Emmy for that little piece of acting alone.
-Speaking of TV shows, "True Blood" had its season finale tonight. This is my favorite new show of the year! Horror, humor, and lots of Anna Paquin naked. Can't beat that with a stick...
-Speaking of vampires, I had a lady at work today ask me if I've seen "Twilight." I replied, "No, because I'm not a 14-year old girl."
-Speaking of movies, I saw "Tropic Thunder" this week. Although the film is really funny on its own, what really did it for me was the commentary with Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey. And Downey was by far, I mean BY FAR, the funniest guy on the commentary. That's because he did the whole thing as his character from the film and was a master of improv. I've always been impressed with him as an actor, and he can be charming and funny, but who knew he was this fuckin' funny?!
-Uh, any cool cd's this past week? Not unless you like donkey dick. In that case, there were new cd's from Nickelback, Mudvayne and Blake Shelton. I did, however, get the new Killers album. The cd comes out this week, but the vinyl was released a week early. I'm not too crazy about it right off. Maybe it will have to grow on me.
-I actually heard this yesterday. There was this white-trash, redneck bitch getting out of her car. She had two very young kids with her. I guess one of the kids asked her something or requested something or didn't want to do something...anywho, the stupid idiot mother responded by yelling out, "I don't give a shit! I don't GIVE A SHIT!" Classy. Forget about the fact that these kids will probably grow up to be suck-ass humans because of their upbringing, I was thinking, "well, she's got kids, so WHO THE HELL is such a loser that he actually fucked this bitch? Twice??!" Ok, shut up, I know it was probably two losers that each knocked her up once.
-Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. Two grammatically incorrect words for you: Hells Yeah! Put that in your pipe, Sarah Palin, and suck it!
-I've busted on Justin Timberlake in the past, but I might cut him a little slack due to his being so funny in two skits on Saturday Night Live last week. Humor goes a long way with me.
